B2B Starter: Foundation for a modern B2B setup

by Medusa

Let employees purchase on behalf of their company while companies manage users, invite employees, set purchasing rules, and track orders. Ships with pre-built B2B purchase flows out of the box — draft orders, quotes, cart approvals, spending limits, and bulk add-to-cart. Manage large catalogs with millions of SKUs and configure custom price lists and promotions for each B2B client, all within the Medusa Admin.
